Chapter 55
Angela’s POV
All I could think of were Darius’s words for the next few hours. His words affected me but I chose not to believe him. It has never always been me. He chose a different woman every time our paths crossed.
I had to force myself to sleep and soon enough, I regretted I did. Although it took me a few hours to finally sleep, my nightmares woke me up several times. I could feel hands on my face, suffocating me. I couldn’t breathe. At some point, I saw myself being pushed down a cliff. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t.
By the time I woke up from a frightening nightmare the fifth time, I gave up on sleeping. I knew the reason why I was having those nightmares and I knew they got worse because someone wouldn’t mind his business and not make me a stupid artist workshop.
I didn’t need one. I would never need one. I reached for my pill bottle and groaned when I realized I didn’t have a bottle of water in the room.
Sleep–deprived and reluctant, I dragged my feet to the kitchen to get some water. I was wearing a round–neck shirt I picked up. randomly from my luggage. It barely managed to cover my buttcheeks.
“Can’t sleep?” Darius’s voice suddenly echoed, scaring me. I jumped in fear before I could figure out it was him. I sucked in a deep breath as I glared at him.
He was sitting in darkness at first but after he spoke, he switched on the lamp with him. He was in the dining area holding a pen and a file.
“What are you doing?”
He raised the file. “Working!”
“What are you doing here? What happened to the Alpha’s mansion?
“I hate it there. I prefer it here,” I raised an eyebrow. It was getting difficult trying to understand Darius.
“Yeah! It’s your house. Do whatever you want,
“Can’t sleep?” He asked again. I hid the drug in the middle of my palm.
“I sleep soundly. I just want a bottle of water. I was thirsty,”
“What’s in your hand?” He asked. This time, he was on his feet.
I had to act smarter than him. I walked closer to the dining table and touched the file with a fake smile on my face.
“What are you working on?”
He ignored me. He walked right past me into the kitchen and I almost cursed under my breath. I had thought he was coming. after me, I took a glimpse at the file but I couldn’t understand what was written on it
“Nibbles, your brain capacity can’t comprehend that. Don’t bother reading it
I almost dropped to the floor. My mouth dropped open and my face turned pale.
Did he just insinuate that I was too stupid to understand a simple document?
“What?” I gasped.
“What?” He asked, pressing a bottle of water on my skin and 1 grabbed it away from his hand.
“I’m not stupid,”
He smirked. “I didn’t say you were. The handwriting is a bit complicated. The file is from another pack. I’ve already made a request for a new one. If possible, typed. No idiots use pen to write a stupid file these days,”
He clenched his jaw so tightly I wondered if it hurt him.
Thanks for the water,
Chapter 35
I forced the words out of my mouth as I began walking away.
“If you can’t sleep, you could either use the pill or come into my room,” he suggested.
I turned to him and glared hard. “Stay away from me,” I warned.
He ran his hand over my arm, leaving goosebumps at each spot he left behind. He dropped another kiss on my shoulder and I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach.
“We can do this the easy way, He whispered in my ear.
I swallowed the moan that was making it’s way to my throat. “Or maybe not,” I replied. I didn’t sound like me at all.
“Stop calling me that ridiculous name,”
“Daisy shouldn’t be a part of any of our conversation,”
